Robin I have two cameras ( Smartmedia cards) Wife has one camera ( Compact
Flash Card) Three chargers and about 9 sets of four AA Ni-MH batteries. I
like to use the screen for taking pictures and that eats batteries fast.
You can get readers cheaper if you watch for sales. Micro Center has one
that reads the same cards as yours for less than $10. I think you have to
buy it at the store. They even have a 640 x 380 camera for $14.95 ( good
enough for web pictures) zipzoomfly.com has one for about $17.00 shipping
free
